Deepseek removed from Cursor, but you can try other Models such as Gemini 3 Flash that cheap and have great capabilities [Deepseek Unavailable! No Response from Customer Support! - #3 by sanjeed5](https://forum.cursor.com/t/deepseek-unavailable-no-response-from-customer-support/146044/3) ---

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I already have £20 to spend with Deepseek, so I was thinking of using it on Cursor… Is there really no way to use it? Thank you. ---

Probably I met the similar problem. I’m trying to use deepseek by manually adding the deepseek api keys in OpenAI API Key section, with model name `deepseek-chat` and base url `https://api.deepseek.com/v1`. The strange thing is that for basic greetings or conversations like `hi! what model are you`, or `explain CLT to me`, etc., they all just worked fine. However, when I `@` a file or let it digging the real, heavy work, it then fails, and returns the following issue: > Request ID: 32820236-f877-4602-a16f-50822497ffc4 > {“error”:57,“details”:{“title”:“Provider Error”,“detail”:“We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider.

Kind of frustrating. Thanks! ---

Hello, I think I didn’t explain myself clearly, but I’m already using an API key. I added the Deepseek models I wanted to use to the list, but nothing works. It says ‘Reconnecting’ and then gives me an error message when I make a request. ---

I encountered the same issue after updating Cursor, but after downgrading Cursor, Deepseek works again. Previous versions are available on GitHub, so please look for them there. ---
